A sport-specific approach to hamstring & adductor-related injuries

Join Bram Swinnen and Rob Langhout in this comprehensive course designed for physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals who want to deepen their understanding of hamstring and adductor injuries. The course offers a balanced combination of biomechanical insights, epidemiology, prevention, rehabilitation, and manual treatment, making it highly relevant not only for those working with elite athletes but also for those treating regular players and active individuals of all levels.

Rob Langhout, PhD in biomechanics, is a well-published expert with a wealth of knowledge in manual therapy and injury rehabilitation. As a manual therapist who works with multiple elite football players, Rob brings unparalleled insights into the biomechanics and rehabilitation of lower limb injuries. His experience, combined with Bram’s knowledge and expertise, ensures that the course content is evidence-based and practical, offering tools to improve outcomes in diverse clinical settings.

This course combines theory and practical application, providing physiotherapists with the tools to diagnose, prevent, and rehabilitate hamstring and adductor injuries in patients across various activity levels. Whether working with amateur athletes or fitness enthusiasts, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of injury mechanisms, treatment strategies, and rehabilitation techniques tailored to the demands of your practice.
